Obama 2008

[piterburg]

Barack Hussein Osama Obama just  declared his candidacy for the US President. I wonder who is he going to pick up as his running mate -is it going to be Hillary ?(what a dream ticket: Barack and Barracuda...).

I wonder whether American people are ready to elect someone with a name like his...if they are, I have my own nominee -

I have no problem with his religion(although it may come to a question of where his "loyalty" stands,whatever that means) may pop up...
He is not bad though and he is center left,which ok with me. I still will put abet on Hillary though,but that's my own opinion...

[piterburg]

I do not doubt his loyalty to the US. I just doubt that someone with a name like that is electable.

[isartorius]

got it. What you're saying is US may not be ready yet for either black president or a woman president right?

[piterburg]

I am not saying it. I think the US is ready for a black president or a woman president. But it would have to be someone like Colin Powell or Condi Rice or maybe Hillary C., someone whose life was a mainstream Anerican experience, not someone whose name is Barak HUSSEIN OBAMA who grew up a Muslim in Indonesia.

I understand.Sorry,I did not mean to put my words in your mouth,honest.I'd love to vote for Colin Powell or for Hillary.Hell,I would vote for ANYONE who I would feel comfortable with(regardless of the party affiliation).For instance,I like McCain a lot.But..it's too early to tell.Obama is not a bad guy ,that's for sure.I've heard that Hillary is leading so far though,but again,it's too early to tell...

[piterburg]

I like McCain myself, more than others. The problem is that McCain is 72. And none of them are bad guys, the problem is that it is not enough to be a good guy in order to be effective President.

so true.Carter was a good man,but not nesessarily a great president.Happens all the time.At the same token,Reagan was more pragmatic,but turned out to be just fine in my himble opinion..

I understand that you live in Boston area.
Do you know by any chance Lev Romm or Dmitry Dvinov?I 'm sure the chance that you can know each other are quite slim,.but... one never knows..(Both are from St.Petersburg,Russia)

Re: off topic

I came Lev Romm a few times. Never crossed path with Dvinov.

I wonder if that's the same guy.Say hello to him from Alex Veytskin (a friend of Alla Golburt ,Anna Orshanskaya and Rimma Katz) if you'll see him..I'd be much obliged.. :)

Re: off topic

[piterburg]

The chance that I will see him is very small indeed. Last time I saw him was about seven years ago..;)
